Rating the Raters

Questions for the Raters:

1. How many years have you taught High School Mathematics?
2. What subjects in mathematics did you teach?
3. What school did you teach in? Where exactly is that school?
4. What was the perfomance level of your students?
5. How was the performance level of your classes determined?
6. How large were your classes?
7. Did your school provide extra help and provide a suitable spot for students to receive this help?
8. Were copy machines and decent text books always available?
9. Did you like being in the classroom?


Some more important questions:
10. How will these findings help my period 1 students get to school on time?
11. How will you get level 1 and level 2 students to read and do math?
12. How will all this money being spent on ratings make the school system and the education of our children any better?


After all, I think we should know something about the people that are going to rate us. In fact, maybe they should be rated!

While you're at it, ask them for specific examples of how they will differentiate instruction for each and every one of the level 1 and 2 kids, and how they would go about meeting those students' needs in a class of 32.

I'm willing to bet Principal Suit will keep them far away from me
